Er … objective of said experiment is … ?

I say this having never clicked a digg button or even been to the site.

Bethany at realVerse is pretty hot. She has a little bit of a Natalie Portman vibe going on.

Rosetta on August 19, 2006 at 2:28 PM

I like the basic idea. Now to see if I can view the #$%! net video.

Bethany gets my willing effortless effort in her quest to perform this experiment, but the results can be seen ahead of time. The clueless kiddies will run the site, and relavent stories will be dugg rarely if at all.

That’s kinda what I thought. Which would prove … what, exactly?

Anwyn on August 19, 2006 at 3:56 PM

What will it proove??? That a pretty girl can get geeks to do just about anything by asking???

Its an experiment in social power….

I don’t get the point either, but I’d follow her into a burning building faster than Nick Cage.

Amen!

RobertCSampson on August 19, 2006 at 5:21 PM

Another thought. Who will see/interpret the results?

DannoJyd on August 19, 2006 at 7:21 PM

Ya gotta love it.

Among the top 10 things to do on “no-digg day” include:

Get a job.

Go to class.

Talk to a girl — in person.

MOVE OUT OF YOUR PARENT’S HOUSE. HAHAHAHA!

I’m laughing so hard I’m crying.

And the guy who founded digg made $60 million? FROM WHOM?

And the guy who founded digg made $60 million? FROM WHOM?

Advertisers? Donations? Daddy? Soros?
The site reads like a CarBuyer rag. A great example of rewarding mediocrity.

And yeah, she’s hot…in a sort of rah rah cheerleader way.

It was too hard to Digg. I gave up.

Digging is an unpleasant experience like waiting in line at the post office. But I found listening to this video worse, more on the orders of scratching fingernails across a blackboard.

She keeps dipping her head back and forth, and raising her eyebrows. I disapprove of giving ritalin to kids, but this girl could use a dose.

I have given her a nickname: Snickers

entagor on August 20, 2006 at 12:45 PM

I don’t think I’ll be going back to Digg anytime soon either.

DannoJyd on August 20, 2006 at 3:01 PM

She’s very adorable. Wasn’t realVerse one of the sites that’s supposed to guest VJ here next week?

Tanya on August 20, 2006 at 3:39 PM

Tanya, thanks for the compliment, and yes we are excited to be guesting on Hotair soon. Tune in on Thursday and Friday to see us :-)

realVerse on August 20, 2006 at 6:04 PM

Hot as she may be, her experiment makes no sense.

Karol on August 21, 2006 at 11:21 AM

Karol with a K, this is my reason for abandoning Digg, but please don’t click on that until Tuesday.
